Rue Jouvenet in Rouen - Paul Gauguin
Excellent
L'œuvre en bref
In Rue Jouvenet in Rouen, a post-impressionist work by Paul Gauguin, we find a quiet lane lined with pastel-coloured houses, framed by a soft blue sky. The human figures are sketched with a simplicity that reinforces the impression of everyday tranquillity. The soothing colour palette reinforces the serenity of the painting.
The artist uses synthetic techniques, with shapes reduced to their essence, flat colours and a simplified composition. The painting is presented as an urban landscape, but also as a genre scene due to the presence of human figures. Setting photographic realism aside, Gauguin painted Rue Jouvenet in Rouen as a haven of peace, a break from the hustle and bustle of modern urban life.
